39.

[Between the Litany and Communion Service.]

Он most merciful!

Oh most bountiful!
GOD the FATHER Almighty!

By the REDEEMER'S

Sweet intercession,

Hear us, help us, when we cry.

40.

"I will bless them."

LORD, now we part in Thy blest Name,
In which unto this place we came;
Grant us through our remaining days,
To work Thy will and spread Thy praise.

Teach us in life and death to bless,
The LORD our strength and righteousness;
And grant us all to meet above,

L.M.

There shall we better sing Thy love. Amen.

[blocks in formation]

"And all the Congregation blessed the LORD GOD of their

Fathers."

HOLY, Holy, Holy LORD,
Ever be Thy Name ador'd;
Thee to laud in hymns divine,
Saints above and Angels join.
We with them our voices raise,
Echoing Thine eternal praise:
And with hearts o'erflowing cry,
Glory be to GOD on high!" Amen.

42.

"Hosanna in the highest."

HOSANNA to King David's Son,
Who reigns on the eternal throne;
Bless ye the Prince of heavenly birth,
Who brings salvation down to earth.

Let every nation, every age,
In joyful songs of praise engage,
Old men and babes in Zion sing

The glorious Name of CHRIST our King.

"His Name shall be called The Mighty GOD."

LORD of glory, Thou hast come,
Satan's kingdom to destroy;

Thou shalt strike th' Accuser dumb;

Raising us to endless joy.

Thou didst lay Thy glory by,
Seeking earth in lowly guise;
Yea, for sinners didst thou die,
That to life might many rise.

Purge our dross and sin

away,
That we may beseem our name,
Then shall we as sons of day,
Cast off works of night and shame.

L.M.

Amen.

SEVENS.

[ocr errors]

By Thy grace shall we put on,
Glorious armour of the light;
And henceforth, till life be gone,
As Thy faithful soldiers fight.
JUDGE of all! Thou com'st again!
Heaven and earth shall flee away;
Thou shalt take Thy power and reign;
Keep, O keep us, in that day! Amen.

44.

"Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh."

HARK, the glad sound! the SAVIOUR comes,

The SAVIOUR promis'd long;

Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.

He comes, the prisoners to release,

In Satan's bondage held;

The gates of brass before Him burst,
The iron fetters yield.

He comes, from dark'ning scales of vice,
To clear the inward sight;
And on the souls by nature blind,
To pour celestial light.

He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure!

And with the treasures of His grace,
T'enrich the humble poor.

Our glad Hosannas, PRINCE OF PEACE!
Thy welcome shall proclaim;

And heaven eternally resound,
With Thy beloved Name. Amen.

C.M.

"Ye are strong, and the Word of GOD abideth in you."

SOLDIERS OF CHRIST, arise,

And put your armour on;

Strong in the strength which GOD supplies, Through His Eternal SON.

Stand boldly in His might, With all His strength endued; But take, to fit you for the fight, The armour of your GOD.

Strong in the LORD of Hosts,
Rest on His mighty power;
Whoso for strength in JESUS trusts,
Is more than conqueror.

From strength to strength go on;
Wrestle and fight and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the hard-fought day.

That having all things done,
And every conflict past,

Ye may o'ercome through CHRISt alone,

And stand with Him at last.

46.

"Fight the good fight of faith."

OFT in sorrow, oft in woe,

Amen.

SEVENS.

Onward, Christians, onward go!
Bear the toil, maintain the strife;
Strengthened with the BREAD OF LIFE.

Onward, Christians, bravely go!
Join GOD's army; face the foe!
Tremble not in danger's hour;
Trust ye your great CAPTAIN's power.

Let your drooping hearts be glad ;
March in heavenly armour clad;
Fight; nor think the battle long;
Soon shall victory wake your song.

Let not sorrow dim your eye;
Soon shall every tear be dry;
Onward unto glory move;

More than conquerors ye shall prove! Amen.

"His Name is called The WORD of GOD."

GLORY to GOD, whose grace alone,
Reveal'd what else man had not known;
And moved holy men to write
The Scriptures of eternal light.

Glory to God who planteth deep,
Truths which the soul from ruin keep;
And guards their growth, lest hope depart,
That seed of life within the heart.

Glory to CHRIST, the Living WORD,

L.M.

Whose face was seen, whose voice was heard;
The WORD made-flesh, who dwelt on earth,
And quickeneth man with second birth.

In Majesty shall He descend,

His foes o'erwhelm, His flock defend;
And smiting with His two-edged sword
Shall be for evermore ador'd. Amen.
